Puffadder bit my dog. Flattened his head with .22. Took my dog to the Vet and will see what happens in the next 24hrs. The dog is badly swollen right now.

Sounds like you made him a pop adder now.

Best of luck to your dog.

They are very common here. I'm so glad he didn't enter the front door, walking around bare foot in the house and all

When I was in Somalia in 1993, we had a Warrant Officer bitten on the thumb by a Pit Viper. His thumb swelled up to the size of a golf ball at the bite site. Then it was almost like it popped. He ended up with a crater in his thumb. Scary stuff.

Ouch. That stinks. Hope your dog pulls through. Let us know how it pans out.

That sucks. Hope your pup is alright.

Heredoggydoggy · « **Reply #12 on:** September 17, 2011, 06:45:24 PM »

Man! Those are bad critters. Hope you got the pup to the Vet soon enough.

Behead them all but seriously hope your dog is okay, hate to see them suffer for a snake.
